Thank you to everyone who came to conferences last week. We enjoyed conversing with you about your child’s progress.
MATH - During the 1st quarter most of the math concepts that are covered are review and building on concepts taught in Kindergarten. Starting in 2nd quarter, most of the concepts will be new. "Friendly Notes" pages are sent home periodically which contain information and language that you can use when helping your child with math. Knowledge of the basic math facts is essential because scholars can spend more time on the math concepts themselves rather than basic calculation. ACADEMICS - Spalding - Student will learn 10 new words on Monday, 10 new words on Tuesday, and 10 new words on Wednesday. We will review the 30 words on Thursday. The test is on Friday. Math - We started a new unit today - Numbers to 20. This unit contains a lot of information. Skills learned in this unit include: identifying a ten and some ones, ordering numbers, comparing numbers, methods of addition of subtraction, and story problems. The first set of "Friendly Notes" pages were sent home on Monday. The second set will go home later this week. Please keep this information at home and use it to help your child while working on math. History - Ancient Egypt Literature - Frog and Toad are Friends Grammar - Nouns (common and proper) Poetry - "Bird Talk" by Aileen Fisher (A copy of the poem is printed on the homework log each day.)
